A - 375

B - 400

C - 430

D - 480

Answer : D

Explanation

Sum =( S.I * T.D )/(S.I - T.D)=( 240 * 160 )/(240-160)=480

Q 2 - The true discount on Rs. 3520 due after a certain time at 18% per annum is Rs. 320. The time after which it is due is:

A - 9/4 years

B - 6/5 years

C - 5/9 years

D - 4/9 years

Answer : C

Explanation

P.W. = Rs. (3520 -320) = Rs. 3200.
S.I. on Rs. 3200 at 18% is Rs. 320.
Time = ( 100*TD)/PW*R=  ( 100*320)/3200*18= 5/9 years

Q 3 - The present worth of a sum due sometime hence is Rs. 1024 and the banker's gain is Rs.64. The true discount is:

A - Rs. 256

B - Rs. 125

C - Rs. 64

D - Rs. 32

T.D. = √(P.W.x B.G.)
=√(1024x64.)
=Rs. 256

Q 4 - The banker's gain of a certain sum due 3 years hence at 20% per annum is Rs. 48. The present worth is:

A - Rs.100

B - Rs.96

C - Rs.103.33

D - Rs.133.33

Answer : D

Explanation

T.D. =(B.G*100)/( R*T)=48*100/( 20*3)=Rs. 80.
Present worth=( 100*TD)/R*T=( 100*80)/20*3=Rs.133.33

Q 5 - The difference between a discount of 20% on Rs. 1000 and two successive discounts of 16% and 4% on the same amount is

A - Rs.6

B - Rs.6.4

C - Rs.6.5

D - Rs. 6.75

Answer : B

Explanation

First discount of 20% on 1000=Rs. 200
Second discount = (16% of 1000)+(4% of 84% of 1000)
= (160) + (  4/100 x 84/100 *1000) =Rs. 193.6
Difference=Rs. (200-193.6) =Rs.6.4.

A - Rs 2464

B - Rs 2500

C - Rs 3360

D - Rs 3100

Answer : B

Explanation

P.W. = ((100*A))/(100+(R*T))- Rs {(100*2800)/(100+(6*2))}
=Rs ((100*2800)/112)=Rs 2500

Q 7 - The straightforward hobby and the genuine rebate on a sure total due 6 months subsequently are Rs 25 and Rs 24 individually. The rate of interest per annum is:

A - 8%

B - 17/2%

C - 35/4%

D - 25/3%

Answer : D

Explanation

((S.I.)*(T.D.))/((S.I.)-(T.D.))=Rs ((25*24))/((25-24))= Rs 600
S.I. on Rs 600 for 6 months is Rs 25
∴ Rate = (100*125)/(600*6/12)% p.a. = 25/3% p.a.

Q 8 - A man bought dairy animals for Rs 3000 in real money and sold it that day for Rs 3660 due 2 years consequently. In the event that the rate of hobby is 10% p.a., the man picks up:

A - 0%

B - 5%

C - 7.5%

D - None of these

Answer : D

Explanation

C.P. = Rs 3000
S.P. = P.W. of Rs 3660 due years hence
= Rs  ((100*3660))/(100+(10*2))=Rs ((100*3660))/120 = Rs 3050
∴ Gain% = (50/3000*100)% = 5/3%

Q 9 - On the off chance that Rs 10 be permitted as genuine rebate on a bill of Rs 110 due toward the end of a sure time, then the markdown permitted on the same total due toward the end of twofold the time is:

A - Rs 20

B - Rs 21.81

C - Rs 18.33

D - Rs 22

Answer : C

S.I. on Rs (110-10) for a fixed time = Rs. 10
S.I. on Rs. 100 for double the time Rs. = 20
T.D. on Rs 120- Rs 20
T.D. on Rs 110 = Rs (20/120*100) = Rs 55/3 = Rs. 18.33

Q 10 - A businessperson needs to pay to a wholesaler a total of Rs 10028 following 1 year. He needs to pay the obligation following 3 months. On the off chance that the rate of hobby is 12% p.a., the amount he will need to pay?
